Lovers Aloft Balloon Festival
There’s no better place to spend Valentine’s Day than Lovelock—the “Heart of Nevada.” People from all over the West flock to Lovelock each spring to follow the ancient Chinese tradition of locking their love at Lovers Lock Plaza, right in the heart of downtown Lovelock next to the Pershing County Courthouse. Get your hands on special heart-shaped locks available for sale at most restaurants, shops and Lovelock businesses, then forever lock your love with a soulmate, family member, or friend.
Celebrate your Valentine’s Day with a weekend of hot air balloon races and festivities, right in the “Heart of Nevada.” Bring a lock (or purchase one locally) and marker to Lovers Lock Plaza to secure your love forevermore!
Held during the weekend nearest February 14th, Lovelock’s loftiest celebration typically includes a handful of Valentine’s Day-themed events, like marriage vow renewals, hot air balloon races and rides, a Locking Your Love event at Lovers Lock Plaza, murder mystery luncheons, and more.
